so. the day of the chocolate. back story: having been cheated out of the max brenner chocolate bar experience while nellie was upon us several months ago, the twinkies, reunited and powerful once again in singapore, cleverly steered a mos burger lunch date towards a max brenner chocolate dessert.

o so innocent. chocolate drinks were chosen, chocolate cheesecake was summoned. ten minutes after the imbibing began, the chocolate hit the bloodstream and we were undone. there were lights going off in our heads, which felt soft and floppy on our necks. we could not stop giggling. the chocolate bar was empty but for us that afternoon; who knows what madness ensues when it's packed out with the pre-post-theatre crowd. in any case, the two shopgirls hung back a safe distance. we were INSANE with chocolate.

lunch-and-dessert-date excused herself mid-hot chocolate to return to work, but we later received word that she had died… well, not quite died, but the sugar allergy she’d had since childhood and kept hidden from us, kicked in and incapacitated her for two days. the twinkies ended up finishing cake and beverages, indulged in some therepeutic lolling, and then propelled ourselves forward to wreak havoc on the city.
